“Golden leaves in a graceful flight, autumn whispers with soft light, nature's canvas, a pure delight.” -Anonymous
It’s been a very busy month for us...transitioning from The Pearl to Texas Pearl. The best part of having the house in Lewisburg is it gives us somewhere to hang out while we wait for the weather to cool off in Texas. It also gives us plenty of time to spend with family. Fall is a very popular season here in the northeast and the trees have been beautiful. Although fall was a bit slower to arrive this year. It’s been a wonderful October...lots of sun, warm days and cool nights.
One of our favorite places to shop is Davy's Fresh Market, and it's just a few blocks from our house.
We didn't do a lot of physical activities this fall. Stan is still nursing a hurt foot, but he's on his way to a full recovery. After returning from Madeira we enjoyed our last few days at the marina and found some great weather to move the boat from our summer slip in Ithaca to the boat's winter home in Cayuga.
We like taking our little runabout up to The Boatyard Grill for dinner. It's been a tradition to close out our summer with one last visit right before we leave. What a perfect evening.
Our last night in Ithaca.

The Pearl's last bath before she is stored.
The rest of October was filled up with soaking up the sun and visits with the family. It's so nice to be so close. It gave us lots of time to play.

It's not quite as nice as view as we have from the boats...but it was still a beautiful sky.
One last dinner at Elizabeth's.
We've really enjoyed all the summer squash that was available at Davy's...acorn, butternut and spaghetti squash.
We even got to enjoy a friend's wedding while we were here. What a wonderful celebration. Kyle officiated the wedding and everyone else was part of the wedding party. It was a beautiful evening.
We don't have a reason to dress up very often so this was fun.
